Music Source
Part of sound that we used in our movie was found on this royalty free music website, in which the user can choose what genre of music they want or what kind of feel they want in their music such as a dark or suspenseful feel.
Incompotech Music Website
The other parts were recorded on Cubase 6, using a MIDI keyboard to create the sounds of static and the piano melody of the first half of the film.

Detailed Opening Sequence Analysis
Sweeney Todd
The opening sequence for Sweeney Todd shows many conventions of typical horror films, the main one being the use of blood which is one of the main themes in this horror as well as other types of horror (such as Slasher).
Music- The music used at the start is very low pitched and eerie, the audience immediately knows the films genre because of the dark nature of the sounds. An organ is used for the first part of the music, giving a dark/old feel to the film, it then carries on to some string instruments which carry on the dark and eerie sound of the piece.
Footage- The clip starts off with a crane shot, slowly moving down through the fog and revealing several Victorian style houses, which allows the audience to know that its set in the past. The camera gets closer to a window and zooms in to reveal a barbers chair and a sudden splash of blood hits the window. The camera changes to a shot of a wall, with two portraits made in dark liquid (appears to be blood) as the camera slowly pans downward as it follows a trail of blood. The blood runs through various settings that are included in the film and gives a small preview as to what happens in the film.
